Conker debuts drunkenly in the UK
Nintendo didn't want to publish Conker's BFD. THQ did.
Development team Rare and Smackdown publishers THQ have decided to bring down civilisation as we know it, launching a game about a drunken squirrel on Nintendo 64.
Presented by Asam Ahmad from THQ and the Rare development team, the night, held at Planet Hollywood, was described by Asam as being, “A somewhat inebriated look at Rare’s latest and greatest platformer on the Nintendo 64.”
The finished game was demo’d by Rare’s lead designer Chris Seavor on a giant screen in Planet Hollywood’s mini-cinema. The game starts with Conker out on a night out with his friends.
All his little mammal buddies are off to war so Conker really goes to town. After way too much to drink Conker staggers out of the pub and attempts to leave as quietly as possible. This is working out fine until on the way out the drink takes its toll and our friendly squirrel produces a mass of nut-infested puke, which spatters the clothes of the bouncer.
At this point Conker staggers off into the sunset to fall asleep in a ditch for the night.
Meanwhile a vicious overlord called the Panther King has a problem with his milk. His favourite table is missing a leg and spilling his precious white liquid all over the floor. The missing leg is squirrel shaped and he wants a replacement. Conker is in trouble.
This is where the game proper begins. Conker wakes up in his ditch and has to find his way home. All of this is presented in the form of an in-game graphics cut scene, the quality of which is a real credit to the Rare development team.
From here-on-in, Conker’s Bad Fur day deteriorates into a very un-Nintendo like, toilet humour fuelled, 3D platformer.
Conker’s bad fur day was playing on six N64 demo pods, all of which were surrounded by jostling journalists. The most played aspect of Conker’s was the frenetic multiplayer games. Many of which are competition-based battles, in the style of GoldenEye.
Bad Fur Day seems like a mix of Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64 and South Park. The humorous aspects work really well. Everyone enjoys a good dose of toilet humour don’t they?
Conker’s Bad Fur Day hits the shelves in April this year.
